Cloud Services can dynamically scale to meet the needs of its users and is designed to provide easy, scalable access to applications, resources, and services.

IaaS - Infrastructure as a Service is starting to gain traction in the South African market due to bandwidth cost reductions as well as the mystery around cloud services having been decompiled and understood.

Our Server on Demand platform is built on the VMware product stack and uses leading brand server, networking and storage infrastructure to build one of the only VMware Software - Defined Data Centre’s in the country.

All major national and international carriers terminate in our data centre.
Choose your contract period, 1 Month, 1 Week or 1 Year. The choice is yours.

The Software-Defined Data Centre Explained

The Software-Defined Data Center is a unified and integrated data platform that provides superior automation, flexibility, and efficiency to transform the way you deliver computing. Processor, storage, networking, security, and availability services are pooled, aggregated, and delivered as software and managed by intelligent software. Self-service, provisioning of Infrastructure and applications round off the solution. The result is a data center designed from the ground up for the cloud era.

We leapfrog the tangle of scripts that sit over specialized and rigid hardware

The heart of our virtualized Software-Designed Data Centre is the VMware Cloud Infrastructure. By basing our Cloud on VMware’s vCloud Suite, the virtualization principles of abstraction, pooling and automation are applied to compute, storage, networking, security, and availability. This creates the Virtual Data Center (VDC), a new logical construct that aggregates these software-defined services and enables intelligent provisioning, monitoring and of course automation. Connectors and built-in API’s provide seamless extensibility to public cloud services and third-party platforms.

Additional Services

In addition to pure IaaS, we can offer a range of packaged services to monitor specific servers, applications, and their respective services.

We then take it a step further and automate the starting of services and the alerting of the designated administrator.

This will ensure that not only do you have a solid Infrastructure layer but that your application layer is pro-actively

monitored and uptime increased, without adding additional skills overhead on your IT team.
